Thoughout the day I touched on what blog topic I might write about, and since I struck out, I thought why not talk about which blog topics are the most interesting or popular? I can't speak for other bloggers, so I'll keep my remarks confined to my own illustrious blog: CRACKED REARVIEW MIRROR. One thing I try to do is to keep my blogs compact.

Since we've got Byrce Harper and Stephen Strasburg in D.C., baseball is a favorite topic, perhaps more so for my tweets. I also enjoy watching film noirs, so I'll do a brief review of the good ones and the bad ones I've seen.

Writers are encouraged to talk about writerly things, but I'm finding the longer I write novels, the less I really have to say about them. Of course, when a new one is released (mine is the crime novel Blood Diamonds), I get excited and chatty about it at least for a while.

I like to write about my leisure reading, especially if I get a book that fires my jets. Time has become a factor, so my book list has been trimmed considerably, especially this year. I have a basic Kindle, so I've been able to read e-books.

Somebody suggested reposting old blogs that drew the most hits. I've heard doing a blog the first thing in the morning is the best time. That didn't work out so well for me. So, I hope all your blogs are good ones to you and your readers.
